bikemonster Posted February 13, 2007 Share From the link supplied by Chunky... "contains several antibodies normally present in adult human blood".So why the frog would you want to INJECT yourself with something that you prolly have anyway? Eat healthy, drink beer and get naked from time to time. Oh, and avoid medical advice from those that are not qualified to dish it out may also help. Anecdotal evidence is worthless, especially when combined with a sample size of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunky Posted February 13, 2007 Share So why the frog would you want to INJECT yourself with something that you prolly have anyway? Thats how some vacines work. Have you ever taken a flu vacine, because that is a modified strain of the virus injected into you to build resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikemonster Posted February 14, 2007 Share So why the frog would you want to INJECT yourself with something that you prolly have anyway? Thats how some vacines work. Have you ever taken a flu vacine' date=' because that is a modified strain of the virus injected into you to build resistance. [/quote'] Vaccination works by exposing you to a weakened virus, which is a very different thing to an antibody. Your body generates antibodies to zap the virus. Then, if you encounter the live virus, your body has the recipe for the necessary antibody 'on standby' and can react swiftly. Now the cold virus is a tricky thing because it mutates very quickly. You do not get the same cold twice. Every time you catch a cold it is a virus that is sufficiently different to previous cold infections that it slips past your body's defences until your body has had time to develop an appropriate antibody to fight off the current cold. This is why there is no such thing as a cold vaccine. The flu virus is much nastier than a cold virus. They are emphatically not the same thing - flu kills people. The flu epidemic of 1919 killed more people than died in WW I. Flu mutates fairly quickly, which is why some strains are deadlier than others, but the flu virus mutates sufficiently slowly that strains can be identified and vaccines prepared, although you need a new vaccine every year if you want to be sure that you are "covered". This thread has a great deal of voodoo going on. The fact that 'pro racers take it' is not a great endorsement, as they are prolly even more susperstitious than the rest of us. At least to the extent that if successful rider A is taking mystery muti X, and word gets out, the other riders are also likely to take mystery muti X. Claims along the lines of "I take powdered badger whisker daily and I don't get colds!" are also worthless because that is purely anecdotal and at best establishes a correlation, not cause and effect. If I rub toothpaste on my head every morning to prevent baldness, and my hair doesn't fall out, that does not mean that rubbing toothpaste on your head prevents baldness.

Jedi Posted February 14, 2007 Share Don't hold onto the escalator when you use it and wipe the shopping trolley handle before you use it or ..... WEAR SURGICAL GLOVES EVERYWHERE WHEN YOU GO OUT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikemonster Posted February 14, 2007 Share Don't hold onto the escalator when you use it and wipe the shopping trolley handle before you use it or ..... WEAR SURGICAL GLOVES EVERYWHERE WHEN YOU GO OUT! ROFLMFAO! You cannot be serious! Gee, why stop there? Take an aqualung with you if you really must go out at all, and be sure to swab yourself down with surgical spirits when you come home, before lying under an unltraviolet light for 10 minutes.

TitusTi Posted February 14, 2007 Share There really is something wrong with you people! Eat a healthy and more balanced diet! That's it! Stop buggering around with this other crap, if you start feeling a bit sniffly take VitaminC, lots of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duathlete Posted February 14, 2007 Share B12 and B complex works great but Neurobion works better. I found that work best for me is to get someone to inject you neurobion every two weeks and 4 weeks before a race when you are doing high intensity training I increase it to once a week. Hope this help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
